Ingredients :
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • lime juice from 1 lime
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Directions :
  1. To make the glaze, in a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, cornstarch, sesame oil, Sriracha, garlic, and lime juice. Set aside.
